Tasting notes
The 2012 Barolo Campè Vürsù is built with strength and power on the inside, but gives an outward appearance that is more introvert and delicate. The bouquet is redolent of dried cherry, cassis, licorice, cola and grilled rosemary. The aromatic presentation is slightly sharper and more focused compared to past vintages of this wine. This Barolo should age nicely over the years, putting on more weight and fleshiness as it moves forward.

The 2012 Barolo Campè is tannic and imposing, with less near term appeal than is typically found here. Beams of tannin give the 2012 much of its shape and overall energy, but it is the translucence of the fruit that is the most unique signature. The stylistic shift that has taken place over the last few years is evident. Red raspberry, mint, rose petal, sweet tobacco and French oak meld into the deep, layered finish.
